Giulia Ceccutti’s book on dialogue wins at Palazzo Borromeo
Respirare il futuro receives the Ambassadors to the Holy See Literary Prize for its account of Neve Shalom-Wahat al-Salam.
Giulia Ceccutti received the seventh Ambassadors to the Holy See Literary Prize at Palazzo Borromeo. The award went to Respirare il futuro – La sfida di Neve Shalom e Wahat al-Salam, published by In Dialogo–ITL Libri. The book recounts the village founded more than fifty years ago between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, where Jewish and Palestinian families share a project based on equality and justice. The ceremony was organised by the Italian Embassy and the European Union Delegation to the Holy See. The prize highlights a work that combines reporting and narrative to document a concrete experience of coexistence, allowing a book to move dialogue beyond abstraction and into the difficult, daily practice of living together.
